Talking Too many options

Hi, new to this forum. I have been thinking about rebuilding my 3.2 motor. There are way too many option for me to choose from. Meaning too many performance upgrade. One of my big decision is how are Mahle cylinder and pistons compare to JE or LN? Which one will give me the best performance and durability? What can I expect to be charge for a rebuild? Ballpark figure is fine. Also, can anyone recommend a mechanic around the San Jose, CA. area?

Give Charles a call at LN engineering and let him explain the differences in his billet cylinders and the mahle units. They are not for everyone, and he will be straight forward with you about what route is best for you. He is a real nice honest guy. I use his cylinders in my big hp turbo engine

Your should first and foremost decide on what your budget is, your intended purpose and final goal before looking into upgrades.

More than likely whatever route / build you choose someone here has already been there and done that.

But if all else fails see my signiture below.
